Why it matters: The timing and issues are no coincidence, but rather a preview of Biden’s positive position for a second term in 2024. News lead: The messages, according to screenshots obtained by Axios, say Biden’s presidency has led to an “industrial boom” and the creation of 700,000 jobs since the passage of a major chip funding bill. Screenshot: “The Record” What they say: White House spokesman Andrew Bates told Axios that President Biden and congressional Democrats “ran on this record — which is supported by a large majority of Americans — and last week voters expressed their support in the most meaningful way”.
“The president has achieved the most significant legislative record in decades, despite the narrowest congressional majorities in history.” Biden reiterated last week that he “intends” to run for president in 2024, but will talk with his family over the holidays and announce a decision early next year.
